The two versions of the sport are so different; IMO rugby union is complex, fast moving and totally engaging, rugby league is a bit like watching grass grow.

I will only be watching the grass grow if I can be sure of then seeing rugby played on it. But I wouldn't go so far as to say I actually LIKE watching grass grow.

As is a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

If by poke you are referring to buying a pig in a poke, then I can hardly inspect the merchandise beforehand if you are pushing a sack into my eyes using a tapered pole.

Not directly. They loaded it onto a lorry at the station first, drove it here, and then I unloaded it from the lorry.

If you are trying to riff on the Samson and Delilah story, sorry, it's a no go; I am not only an agnostic atheist, I would also never dream of killing an animal with my bare hands, with or without a haircut.

I think it's absurd to even suggest animals have hair cuts. You certainly don't find any at our local barbers.

Surely you can only have uneaten Welsh Rarebit. Mind you if you could eat food that had already been eaten once that would create an infinite supply solving all manner of problems. I like your suggestion.

Not the question: Has he ever snared a rabbit?
